unlike tim geithner who never worked on capitol hill he has a sense how to get deals done in congress. secondly he comes from the liberal wing of the democratic party. i talked to him when i worked on my book about the budget, red ink, last year. he believes in the power of government. he is not going to be very sympatico with people like paul ryan who believe the whole role of the budget exercise is to shrink the government. three, he is realist, pragmatist. he understands if we don't do something to slow the growth of enlightment spending there won't be room to do all the things investment in infrastructure, all those things that matter a lot to the president and to jack lew himself. i suspect that he will be, spend nearly all his time on budget matters and he has a chance of being a deal-maker here, even though so far he hasn't been very successful in that. melissa: what does it mean in terms of the job the treasury secretary does? that if you are known to embrace, more liberal economic policies what would you expect practically to see him do? >> well, it's not the first time we ha
